Deciding On Paint Trim

When H. and I were first married, our neighbors had goats....wandering goats. My husband and I (being avid animal lovers), thought they were very cute and loved to pet them. But then they started to wander up onto our porch. What is so bad with that? Well.......they started to eat the siding of our home! We have big chunks gone. It is quite an eyesore, even though H. has patched up most of the holes in the siding. I would LOVE to repaint our home, (at least our trim and doors). I've posted some pictures of different colors I like. As far as the goats are concerned? Our neighbors sent them away to a different home.

I think this red cottage is my absolute favorite. It is really warm and inviting.

This home used a softer red with warmer trim. I love the details.

Doesn't this home remind you of Anne of Green Gables?

I love the gingerbread trim and green shutters and door. Can I move in?

Our home is painted a yellowy cream just like this home. I like the green accent color, and I LOVE the flower box.

About Me

My heart was born in the country, and I could not live anywhere else. I live in a little yellow cottage with my Hero and our two precious children. I adore anything with a country cottage/old world feel to it, and I love to create and refurbish things and make them beautiful. I also love music, art, and from time to time writing poetry. This is the story of a country wife. I hope you will be entertained by my musings, but most of all, I want this blog to magnify Christ's love for us, and to show that His wings shelter us always.
